no, i have never seen a full canvas Etro suit/jacket.

a travesty considering I tried on a great PoW check odd jacket that cost $1995...and at that price it wasn't fully canvassed

Mine is not. Great cut and fabrics, but fused

Etro suits are wildly styled and often end up on deep discount at the end of the season. Wait to buy one at that time. The last one I picked up set me back less than if I had bought a new pair of Aldens. My wardrobe was infinitely cooler after that purchase than it would have been had I gone for another pair of Aldens. Plus, the Etro suit made the Aldens I had look cooler.

There have been some, mostly suits. But generally they are not.

FWIW, the Upper East Side SCOOP on Third Ave. has a very nice PoW Etro sportcoat for around $300. Sizes Eu50-54 or thereabouts. I would have given it strong consideration if smaller sizes were still available.

Construction appeared to be fused.

My only Etro suit is definitely fully canvassed; however, I got it from a consigner on eBay, and it appears to be a made to measure garment that was never picked up, which may skew things.
